july in the queen city

Happy 4^th of July, Friends!

I hope everyone is having a wonderful holiday and spending it with loved ones.

I had a marvelous weekend in my home-town.

It was my dad’s 62^nd birthday,

and I got to hang out with old and new friends.

I go to meridian a lot but I rarely see anyone but my family. This weekend I decided it was time to see the old gang again.

And I’m so glad I did.

Good conversations, good food, and funny moments abounded.

I’m blessed to have such good people in my life.

As usual, the center of attention this weekend was the baby. He’s growing so fast and gets cuter everytime I see him!

Dad’s birthday dinner at El Norte

the beautiful and brilliant Robin! 

 Patrick sure is pretty! (he’s going to kill me when he sees this photo resurface!) 

 Sean and Robin acting out what it looks like to be “in love”.

Sean and Robin showing us what it looks like to have been married for 25 years and headed for divorce.

 How cute is Sean?? I wish I could put him in my pocket and carry him around with me every where!

This is what I look like when Patrick and Eric are working

 this is what I look like when Patrick and Eric are hanging out with us!

 My new adorable friend!

The ladies! Oh how I love my Hannah Ford! 

 While we were hanging out, this is what Patrick was busy doing…

And this is what Eric was busy doing… 

as you can plainly see, my time in Meridian was precious.

can't wait to see my family and friends again..

now...back to studying. 2 more mid-terms tomorrow!

I'm celebrating Wednesday by dining at Parlour Market with two of my favorite ladies ever! 

and once again, HAPPY 4TH OF JULY! 

May all beings everywhere be happy and free! today and every day of the year!

Blessings to you!
